agree with sams as i stated in an earlier post, this was the framework that got me started programming oh so many years ago.

to me, it looks like you are playing with the idea of an MMO type of mod. In this situation, with the maps and areas you need a type of zoning server, which is a server that handles different parts of different maps. With source, it would involve some way for the client to communicate with...

.Net Being able to work in multi-language environments has become so crucial to the way that i work. c++ math processing dll's with C# code library dlls', all the way to the vb gui. Why do i work in so many languages? each has an advantage. c++ is fast c#.Net has a lot of coders...

bump for good measure

actually, farcry uses low level shaders to get that water effect.

actually, in programming it is standard practice on relative paths to put a / slash and a \ for full paths, examples are web coding for instance My Page or Its not a mistake in his coding, its proper referenced pathing.

ermm... no, c++ is the language that the Mod SDK is programmed in, as well as the game its self (including engine). He wants to learn to program, so we are recommending items for him to read and do.

get sam's teach yourself c++ in x amount of hours. does wonders, read it first until you are at utter confusion, then on your second read of the book, work along with it, you will start to pick up the basics, then from there, just like all programming, its 90% trial and error, 10% syntax and...

did you do a nasty vb issue and do a for loop without declaring the variable i? just wondering, a lot of vb6 coders do that, because you don't have to declare all your variables, makes you lazy. otherwise, i would attempt a full rebuild, if it still fails as said above, declare i right...

sent out an email... i think...

can you unwrap?

It would be better to use sqllite or a csv or tsv type of file, expecting a server host to host a secondary server technology would probably shy people away from wanting to play your mod. Where as sqllite, csv, and tsv are very widely accepted db file formats, and can easily be coded and...

Thats definately a position we wouldn't mind having, as we are very focused on making the gameplay aspect of the levels very fluid and balanced. How may I contact you?
